The boy’s injuries are not considered life-threatening, police spokesman Pfc. Michael DeVito told The Register.

The road had reopened in the area by 9:20 a.m.

No further information about the child’s identity or the circumstances of the accident was immediately available.

Tuesday’s incident is the second serious accident involving a pedestrian to happen in the area in the past three days. A 34-year-old woman was seriously hurt late Sunday after a hit-and-run accident near Bridgeport Avenue and Woodland Drive.

Fabrizi said it is important for people to use designated crosswalks and signaling devices when crossing the road. And he said drivers should be on the lookout now that schools are back in session.
